摘要: 基于我国2003-2017年省级面板数据测算财政分权水平和财政分权效率,结合两阶段关联网络DEA测算绿色创新效率、绿色技术研发效率、绿色技术成果转化效率。结合理论模型与实证模型,分析了财政分权、环境规制对我国绿色技术创新的影响。结果表明:从整体上看,财政分权水平、财政分权效率和环境规制都是推动我国绿色创新发展的积极因素,财政分权还通过影响环境规制对绿色技术创新产生积极间接影响;但也导致了地方政府不注重绿色研发的短视行为。从不同时段看,财政分权和环境规制对绿色创新影响发生了变化,一是国际金融危机以后,财政分权加大了经济刺激政策对绿色创新发展的挤出效应,但这在新时代以后得到缓解;二是2013年以后地方环境规制水平提升过快,在一定程度上反而不利于绿色创新。从发展处于不同分位的地区看,财政分权对高、低分位地区绿色创新发展支持都稍显不足,但提高财政分权效率则能显著带动高分位地区发展;环境规制只在高分位地区促进了绿色创新发展,但对绿色创新效率较低的地区而言,过高的环境规制并没有实际意义。

Abstract: This paper uses the provincial panel data of 2003-2017 in China to measure the degree and efficiency of fiscal decentralization. Combining the two-stage DEA network, we evaluate the green innovation efficiency, efficiency of green technology R&D, the conversion efficiency of green technology achievements. We establish mathematical and empirical models to analyze the effect of fiscal decentralization and environmental regulation on green technology innovation. The results show that on the whole, the degree of fiscal decentralization, fiscal decentralization efficiency and environmental regulation are all positive factors to promote the development of green innovation in China, and fiscal decentralization also affects local environmental
regulation, having a positive indirect impact on green technology innovation; however, fiscal decentralization also leads to local governments’ short-sighted neglect of green technology R&D. From different periods of time,fiscal decentralization and environmental regulation have different impacts on green innovation. First, after the global financial crisis, fiscal decentralization has increased the crowding-out effect of economic stimulus policies on the development of green innovation, but this problem is alleviated after the new era. Second, after 2013,local environmental regulation has deepened too fast, which is not conducive to green innovation to some extent.From the perspective of regions with different levels of development,fiscal decentralization has slightly insufficient support for the development of green innovation in high-level and low-level regions, but improving the efficiency of fiscal decentralization can significantly promote the development of high-level regions; thepromotion of environmental regulation on green innovation is mainly reflected in high-level regions, yet for regions with low efficiency of green innovation, excessive environmental regulation has no practical significance.

Key words: Fiscal Decentralization, Environmental Regulation, Green Technology Innovation
